Corinne Mammana Quintet

“Corinne Mammana bridges a sometimes difficult gap between what is obviously her seriously and classically trained vocal instrument, as applied to a lightly swinging book of songs. Her superb technique is a dead giveaway. But Mammana applies her superior technique gracefully, carefully, tastefully and intelligently." Bruce Klauber, JazzTimes

Bruce Klauber from JazzTimes writes, "There’s nothing forced here, which is as it should be, and she fits in wonderfully with DiBussolo’s understated guitar. If there’s a cooler version out there than Mammana’s version of Jobim’s 'Agua De Beber,' then it just hasn’t been recorded yet"
